Synopsis

Tomie Kawakami is a beautiful woman with long black hair and a beauty mark below her left eye. She can easily charm men, making some of them violent enough to commit murder – sometimes even against Tomie herself. One man tries to keep her for himself, while another becomes scared of this immortal seductress. However, no matter how often they kill her, Tomie keeps returning, and the world never gets rid of her.

Tomie’s stories were originally published as Volumes 1 and 2 of the Ito Junji Kyofu Manga Collection. The standalone release first published in February 2000 includes a previously unpublished chapter called “Little Finger.” Later collections, like the Deluxe edition by Viz, combine this story and the sequel Tomie: Again for a total of 20 chapters.

The story “Painter” was adapted in the first part of episode 9 of Ito Junji’s Manga Collection.
